Week 3: Maqasid Shariah and Sustainable Development.

 

This week, Prof. Dr. Suhaimi thought us about Maqasid Shariah. Maqasid means heading towards a direction. Shariah refers to water springs that provide clear and straight mazhab viewpoints, beverages, pathways, and what Allah has approved in the area of Aqidah as well as rules and the religion.

When people hear the word Shariah, many think of rules and regulations. But there's a deeper side to Islamic law that is often overlooked the Maqasid Al Shariah, or the higher objectives of Shariah. These objectives show us that Islamic law is not just about do’s and don’ts, but about protecting human well-being, promoting justice, and making life better for individuals and society. In this post, we’ll take a simple look at what Maqasid al-Shariah means and why it’s so important in understanding the true spirit of Islam.
